Redmine

That really depends what middleware you are using to serve redmine (mongrel, thin, passenger, fcgi, …?), but I'd rather recommend using the "rails" way than to use logrotate. Have a look at the Logger docs http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/logger/rdoc/, especially the new method with which you can define sizes and/or rotate times, this then goes in your environment.rb (or specific environment files).

My config looks like this:

# tail -n 1 config/environments/production.rb
config.logger = Logger.new(config.log_path, 7, 1048576)

I had a problem when I tried adding the following line as suggested:

config.logger = Logger.new(config.log_path, 7, 1048576)

• config/environments/production.rb
• config/additional_environment.rb
• config/environment.rb

With the addition, my production.log behaves as though the log level is set to :debug (tons of logging results). This is the case even if I set the config.log level to :warn, :info or :error (in any of the above .rb files).

Is anyone facing the same problem?

You have to state the log level after switching to the new logger, i.e. something like:

config.logger = Logger.new(config.log_path, 7, 1048576)
config.logger.level = Logger::INFO

should work. If that solves your problem, please open a new ticket so that we can update the docs? Thanks.

Yes, your fix works! Will open the ticket as requested.

Actually I did tried setting the log level before I posted my problem, only that I did it wrongly by writing

config.log_level = :info

instead of

config.logger.level = Logger::INFO

I had thought using the syntax given in config/environment would work, didn't know there's a difference.

# Force all environments to use the same logger level
# (by default production uses :info, the others :debug)
# config.log_level = :debug 

I am currently running Redmine 4.1.1 at our company and the configuration has changed a little:

# File config/environments/production.rb
# keep the latest 15 files rotating 20MB each
config.logger = ActiveSupport::Logger.new(config.paths['log'].first, shift_age = 15, shift_size = 20 * 1024 * 1024)
